Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) delivered a heartfelt plea for peace in
his speech.
He movingly described a trip he and his wife Elizabeth took to the village
of Qana, Lebanon in summer 2006 after a bomb had been dropped on an apartment
building there. "We want peace," the villagers told him. "I
promised the people of Qana that I would bring the message from Qana back
to America, and today I'm keeping that promise," Kucinich said.

Kucinich recognized his wife Elizabeth several times during his speech.
